Would Fedor Emelianenko duck Aspinall like the way Jon Jones is doing?

[HHJ]

Fedor would price himself out of the organisation so he doesn't have to fight him.

He has history of pricing himself out of an org he is fighting in?

 

[Humongo]

I will always have a place in my heart for Fedor but he ducked Ubereem hard back in the day.

I don't recall Fedor fighting Overeem in strikeforce even though Overeem was the champ and always known to be chinny.

Said no to the ufc for what would have been a huge payday with Lesnar. I won't blame him for the Couture fight falling through.

Tried to get Henderson to agree to a catch weight knowing it would impact Henderson trying to put on the weight at his age.

Even his retirement fights were looking for the easiest win he could go out on. Fedor is an all-time great but cut the bullshit.

If you want to do a comparison on this, than let's throw GSP and Anderson Silva fight in this mix, because GSP kept saying he needed time and needed to put on weight for MW while he was naturally sitting at 190-200 LBS, and all of a sudden when the weakest MW in history gets the belt, BAM! He's ready to go.

Given similar circumstances.

Or Fedor is just different warrior breed? Different mentality?

I think Fedor would love the opportunity to fight a young hungry fighter like Aspinall.

Who's well rounded, it would be a great challenge for him.

And an amazing to test his skillset.

fedor got molested by oldman hendo
fedor fanboys complain hendo was on trt
but failed to realize that fedor fought in pride where fighters abused peds

 

[Doctor Grudge]

It is mainly the co-promotion thing. His American handler Jerry Millen was a bit abrasive towards Dana. They wouldn't budge on that M1/UFC collab. It made no sense. I don't recall Pride ever promoting with M1.

Fedor wasn't signed to M1 when he was in Pride.

Both JBJ ducking Tom and Fedor ducking UFC are similar in a way. Has nothing to do with fear of losing and has everything to do with business

Reasonable thoughts aren't allowed in here.

Fedor ducked Overeem on Strikeforce and Bob Sapp in Pride

Sapp was only in Pride for a cup of coffee.

 

[RoseHDCovington]

Sapp was only in Pride for a cup of coffee.

And Fedor ducked him.

Fedor would've smashed Jones. Jones called Fedor the GOAT. But the facts are facts. Fedor ducked Sapp and Overeem

 

[HHJ]

And Fedor ducked him.

Prove it.

"Is Jones the greatest of all time, as they say?

He has all the arguments. He is undefeated, champion in two categories, the highest number of defenses in the UFC... I know him personally, we met on trips, a great character, a prankster, but his temperament costs him and he often gets into trouble with the law. Out-of-the-box fighter, covered in all segments of the fight, has an unusual style in the stance, changes guards, has unusual strikes, superb takedowns, is a complete fighter. It could certainly be said that it is the biggest next to Fedora. Maybe I'm being too emotional here, but those two are definitely in the first place."

To compare chicken heart Jones to Fedor is laughable honestly, and I think probably posts like this are troll jobs at this point. It’s all done under the impression that the general public don’t know that Jones is a duck. They do. The casuals know

It's always fun watching the newer fans call Jones a chicken, completely unaware that his career and longevity have been built off being one of the toughest fighters ever.

You forgot when his WAMMA belt magically wasn't on the line to fight Werdum and then the whole thing was quietly scrapped after he lost.

Or how he fought Maldonaldo in an organization he was the President that oversaw the refs and judges that kept him from being stopped and then gave him a robbery win, as well as the President that then denied the appeal to a draw.

Fedor's a top 5 GOAT, but his fans who pretend he's perfect are beyond obnoxious.

Oh nice standard to hold him to.

Especially compared all those other fighters who did fight their own brother, oh wait.

Right who can forget the classic Klitschko trilogy? Incredible battles

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Fedor would probably have fought him three times by now.

 

[kingghidrah]

I will always have a place in my heart for Fedor but he ducked Ubereem hard back in the day.

You mean he lost to Werdum on purpose so they wouldn't meet in the next round? sure.

Didn't you see this documentary Sherbro?

 

[kingghidrah]

It's hard for people to remember correctly now, but when Brett Rogers was 10-0 no one wanted to fight him. He was murdering people left and right and Fedor had no problem stepping in to take him on.

As it turns out Rogers wasn't the killer people thought, but it took Fedor to prove it once before everyone else lost their fear. He would fight Aspinall for sure.
